first contact...

i recieved an email today from my relative in ireland... so excited to hear from them. i wrote them a letter last week to talk to them about me coming on may 1st. it will be sooo much fun to think in 18 days i'll be leaving for ireland for 3 weeks, and i have no official plans. all i know is that someone will pick me up from the airport and that i will have a place to sleep for a couple nights at least. i'm a little nervous travelling alone for the first time, no more safety net... but then its exciting cause i get to go and do as i please without anyone to answer to. yeah! can't wait... now if i could only get rid of this cold....
